COUNTY CARLOW

Arms (crest) of Carlow (county)

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms have strong associations with the Butler family. Like the arms of Kilkenny and Tipperary, the field is ermine and for the same reasons. The two English lions signify that the Butlers held their land from the English crown. The rampant lion comes from the arms of another Butler family from Garrybunden in the County.
